You see, as money moves away from bricks and mortar stores, investment moves similarly to the online experience. And this trend to the web is just as true in non-profit sectors as it is in retail. In downturns, more people head to higher education, as governments continue their move to e-government practices and everyone looks for ways to reduce costs. Getting the customer to serve themselves rather than involving costly manual processes should be a no brainer.
Yet such projects typically involve WCM, Search, and ECM technologies and increasingly also Analytic and DAM tools too. But above all:Enterprise Portals — where one of our evaluation scenarios is “Self-service Portal.”
